Goldman Sachs rating system.
>> could you please divulge definitions of those GS stock Ratings...i.e. (OP/A), (IL/A), etc? <<

Goldman recommendations are in two parts. The first part, before the slash, is their guess at how a stock will perform relative to it peers in its sector. The second part, after the slash, is their rating of the sector relative to the whole market.

The individual stock ratings relatives to their peers within their sector are:

OP = Outperform
IL = In Line
U = Underperform
NR = Not Rate

Sectors are rated:
A = Attractive
N = Neutral
U - Unattractive

A stock rated Underperform in an Attractive sector (U/A) could still go up in price, just not as much as others in it sector, And a stock rated Outperform in Unattractive sector (OP/U) could still go down, just not as far as the others in its unattractive sector. That assumes that they were right on the sector and individual stock analysis in the first place. Often they are not.

Like any rating system such as Value Line or the S & P's 'Stars' system, you can't get rich by rigidly following the system. Investing is not that easy or boring. Think of how boring investing would be if all you had to do is slavishly follow some bokerage house's rating system.
